He became an All-American in both national high school championships (Nike seventh and Footlocker fourth). In 2008, Drew became Indiana's Gatorade cross country runner of the year.

Again, Drew ran in the Nike Outdoor National High School meets becoming an All-American in 2008 as a member of the runner-up 4x800 relay and fourth in the 2009 mile. His outstanding senior season brought an invitation to run in the prestigious Penn Relays boys high school championship and a runner-up finish again placed him among the best of the best. Drew started his collegiate career at the University of Wisconsin as the 2010 cross country Big 10 freshman of the year and an USTFCCCA All-Academic. He was a participating member of the NCAA national championship cross country team. In 2014, he graduated with honors from Wisconsin majoring in economics.
